10 Questions to Ask Graduating Seniors
I read this post by Chuck Bomar and thought it was worth passing along. I’ve edited his questions to fit specifically with Young Life.
Chuck writes, “Companies and organizations often do ‘exit interviews’ and they do so for many different reasons. But the biggest one is that they get really honest answers. They do this so they can learn, become better at what they do, and more faithfully care for their employees.”
Young Life leaders need to do this too. Asking graduating seniors the following questions can help you become better at what you do, be more in tune with the actual needs of your high school friends, and provide a natural way for you to give a few things for them to think about as they move onto the next stage of education. But mostly it’s about asking them questions and keeping your ears open.”
